There will be 16 teams. I will need 16 people to volunteer to be “team captain” When the tournament has 96 players I will start a draft pick to choose who goes on what team. The team captains will be drafting the players into their teams. When the draft is done the “season” will start. There will be 2 divisions of 8 teams. The divisions will be determined by random. Then will start an 82 game schedule. Each match in the schedule will really be a 10 game battle between the 2 teams. (Explained more under “match’s”) each game you win you get 2 points, if you tie a game you get 1 points, and if you lose you get o point. After 82 games the top four team in each division will go into a play off. The playoff will look like a tournament bracket. The first round will be best out of 7 games. The semi finals will be best of 9 games and the final will be best of 11 games.

The draft will be like a NHL draft. (Player 1 chooses then player 2 then 3…. Next round player 16 chooses then 15 then 14 etc) the captains will be doing the draft. I will be doing it so player 1 picks then I message player 2 then player 3 get a message when player 2 picks etc. the order in which they pick will be random.

Team captains will be volunteers. There will be 16 team captains(1 for each team)A team captain will

1- Draft his/her team2- Hand in the list for his/her team3- They are the only one able to change the list4- They will recruit a new team member if they lose one on there team5- They will be able to trade players6- Team captain must name there team BEFORE the draft

A match consists of 12 games. 2 games are quadruplets, 3 games are triples, 3 games are doubles, and 2 games are singles. The one who wins the most game wins the “match”

Home and AwayAt the beginning or the season each team will have to summit a home game list. They may change the list at any points in the season by giving me the new list. Every 7 games your home/away game switch (team 1 has home game from week 1 to 7 then they have away game from week 8 to 14 then home game again from week 15 to 21 etc)

Team captains can trade players, how a trade works is simple. The team captain offers another team captain a trade offer (b00060 offers aslewyn1 HighlanderAttack for dingoldufer) all aselwyn1 has to do is accept the trade then they both must p.m. me telling me (caymanmew) of the trade. Once I have been informed by both people the trade is FINAL. After week 50 there are NO more trades whatsoever.

The play off will be like a NHL playoffs but smaller. 4 team from each division will advance into round 1 of the playoffs. The top team in division 1 will play the lowest (qualifying) team in division 1. The 2 place in division 1 will play the 3 placed team in division 1. (Same goes for division 2)

Round 1 Each team will play best of 7 match’s the first team to win 4 match’s wins and advance to the division finals

Division finalsEach team will play best of 9 match’s the first team to win 5 match’s wins and advance to the tournament finals

Tournament finals

The last 2 teams will play best of 11 match’s the first team to win 6 match’s wins the tournament

Note to cayman - In your first bit before the spoilers you have a couple mistakes "Each match in the schedule will really be a 10 game battle between the 2 teams. (Explained more under “match’s”) each game you win you get 2 points, if you tie a game you get 1 points, and if you lose you get o point."

Each fix in order is - 12 game battle - "matches" - 0 points

Also, you may want to rename this tourney because a regular hockey season is 82 games but yet it is labeled as "mini". Perhaps cut it in half or make it even smaller then that? 82 weeks is over a year and a half before we even get to playoffs.

Best of luck getting this bad boy kicked off Looking forward to a tourney like this for a while

Count me in as a team Captain, cayman. Also, I'd like to put reserve as the Toronto Maple Leafs, if you adopt team names (I think that would make the tourney even greater than it is). Or, if not using NHL team names, then I will concoct something suitable. In the meantime, grand tourney and I also hope it starts up!
